Due to tongzhi's early death, Cixi attached special importance to Guangxu. For this reason, as soon as Guangxu entered the palace, he completely lost contact with his parents, and it was basically Cixi who raised him. In this sense, Cixi is also like his adoptive mother, no different from treating her own children. Under Cixi's discipline, Guangxu, who was weak in health, needed to complete a lot of homework every day.
Although Guangxu was very obedient in his performance, in fact he was very rebellious in his heart. Especially in the matter of marriage, he clashed with Cixi. Although Cixi identified 5 candidates for him, from the bottom of her heart, she hoped that her niece would become empress, in fact, this is not surprising, Empress Xiaozhuang also did this to Shunzhi.
However, Guangxu had his own opinion on this matter, and he gave the relic to another woman who was more beautiful- In fact, this matter really can't be blamed on Guangxu, who made Cixi's niece a strange and ugly "toothless woman"? Cixi is indeed not considering properly in this matter, let Guangxu and such a woman sleep in the same bed, where can there be the joy of the bed between husband and wife, not to be scared to death!
Of course, in the end, it was Cixi who made the decision, and she insisted on making the niece who had hunched back at a young age as the empress. Marrying such an ugly-looking woman, Guangxu really wanted to cry without tears, but he did not have the ability to disobey. From Cixi's point of view, she had already sensed that Guangxu intended to rebel against herself, so it was even more necessary to place a person she trusted as an eyeliner around the emperor, so she could only choose her niece.
Unexpectedly, on the night of the new marriage, the emperor collapsed, and he cried at Empress Longyu, without any joy that should be a groom. However, Guangxu still has a place of comfort, that is, he also accepted two concubines: Zhenfei and Jinfei, the former is not only beautiful in appearance, but also rarely, with his heart, everything is always for his sake, and the two people get along very well together.
Seeing that the emperor stayed with Zhenfei all day, Cixi was very angry. Her wishful thinking is to make the bloodline of the Ye Shu Nala clan continue in the royal family through The children of Guangxu and her niece. However, Guangxu did not like to face the empress, let alone have sex, and the empress, in a fit of rage, told Cixi the truth of the matter.
Cixi believes that this is all because of the culprit of Zhenfei, so she asked Zhenfei to teach her a lesson. When he fled from Jingxi, he took this opportunity to order someone to forcibly push Zhenfei into the well, and what could Guangxu do except plead bitterly, who let him be just a puppet at the mercy of others!
